[7 Years and Maybe Longer]

Do you guys reckon you could end up back in the studio sooner than usual, now that you potentially have more time to focus on creating music as opposed to touring??

I hope we can do something in this crazy time>I always want toi be productive and drink way too much coffee to sit around. I hope we can record some more that would be fun.

Cool to hear Mike saying his guitar effect on Quick Escape is "unique to the record" and can't be replicated live. Makes that song as an art piece even cooler.

Said the choice of effects was down to Josh, yeah?

That was Stone's answer - it's his earlier solo which he's referring to, not Mike's solo at the end of the song.

Edit: they actually both answered separately, sorry:

Hi there. Quick escape has a very rare (and wonderful) effect on the guitar, on the solo, how do they do that? With any pedal, which one? greetings from Argentina

Stone: What solo ... first or second...? the first solo is me and he had lots of crap on it... harmonizer and octaver plus tons of distortion.... Thats all Josh Evans on effects choice . It might be guitar direct into the board and distortion with preamps .. i do love that line though.. stone

Mike: On Quick escape I was using a bunch of pedals .One for sure was the Electric Mistress flanger that Alex Lifeson turned me on to.I love that pedal. I also asked Josh Evans and Neil Hunt at separate times to move the switches on an old delay while I was playing so I would get a sound that I couldnt repeat live. I wanted it special for the track

My Fav Mike song is Retrograde.....great great chords and delivery.. so fun to play.. We rehearsed and its knock out.... love you Mike sg

Hi- have been pretty blown away by the cover of Hunted Down by Soundgarden that Stone is doing lead vocals on that was one of the recent ten club singles. Was wondering how that cover came about? It's a really exciting interpretation of that song.

Thanks . i can't get that lyric out of my head. It speaks to me how we spend our lives hiding from( metaphorical) howling dogs. I remember hearing that song for the first time as a test pressing of the Subpop single at one our local music bars.. My jaw fell through the floor ....Matt fucking Cameron and Chris Cornell showing why SG is one of the greatest of all time. sg

Apparently Mike believes NAIS is a "deep cut."

Can one of you knuckleheads please remind him it was released as a lead single?

[Birds in Hell]

Stone: Where do you think MLB would be at now if AW hadn't lost the battle?

Mike: What is one song you'd love to do live that you guys have never done?

Both: What is a deep cut that you'd love to do live?

this is Mike, I would love to do Dont Drag Me down by Social Distortion or Sway by the Rolling Stones. As for Deep cuts Big Wave is fun , Nothing As it Seems, Down. MM

Alright, here's to Big Wave in 2020!

[daft twat]

Gigatwo is the most important question, right?

[Ms Harmless]

All their answers so far....

[Birds in Hell]

has anyone asked them about the missing bass on TTLW?

It's not missing as such, it's just pretty low in the mix.

Mike's wife loves Tiramisu & Stone wet the bed until he was 9.

99/early 00 Mike was in rehab. I doubt he remembers.

My favorite question so far (not answered, obviously): "When was the last time you went fishing this is important"

[oneway23]

Yeah someone ask about Gigatwo!

Someone asked about a quick follow-up and/or quarantine recording, and Mike's answer was essentially "hope so,it'd be nice... I drink too much coffee to sit still."
